This a tough as nails perennial shrub that is drought, fire, flood tolerant due to its deep root system. This plant is also nitrogen fixing, improving the soil in it's area. New Jersey Tea prefers a spot with part shade to all shade. These have a long life span, and are pretty much carefree after established. The dried leaves have been used to make tea for hundreds of years. They usually get about 2-3 ft tall and about 2-3 ft around. They do best in a dry, well draning soil, but will grow just about anywhere. These plants are not picky, and do best when left alone, my kind of plant! The white flower clusters appear in march and april and will attract birds,butterflies and bees. This is also the host plant for several species of butterflies, including-spring and summer Azure and the mottled Duskywing. These are native wildflower seeds and require at least one cold winter to germinate. I keep these seeds in the "Seed Fridge" at 41F to simulate a cold winter(stratification). 50+ Seeds per order.
